It's the same system as the first game. They designed the same system. I don't know what is so hard to understand about this. They added skips for idiots that want to pay extra, but for the rest of us it's the same damn thing as it was last time.

Honestly, I can't take the outrage culture of lemmy anymore. It's made this place unbearable.

Outrage is a social media staple, it's not just Lemmy.

Thanks for confirming this, all the rage around this game is exhausting. I loved the first game, would probably place it in my top ten of all time. I have no complaints about omg actually having to traverse the world. It’s the way the game is designed to play. If there are paid workarounds to play it a different way it doesn’t affect me or anybody else who loves this kind of game.

They designed the same system, which people complained about the first time around. Like I already said, they added skips for idiots that want to skip the boring parts. If you know that part of your $70 game is so boring that people are willing to pay extra to skip it, just don't include those parts.
